Atelier Teymur Rzayev's “First Digital Climate Change Art Show” will take place at the Pinelo Art Gallery in Istanbul, Turkey from May 30 to June 12, 2020, during the week of World Environment Day on June 5, and World Ocean Day on June 8, 2020 to commemorate them.

This art show is part of the United Nations World Environment Day Digital Celebrations and was curated by Selva Ozelli based on her series of articles on digital technology adoption, solar energy and tax policies in the jurisdictions with the greatest carbon emissions. These articles have been published by the World's first Climate Change Museum "The Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change - Hong Kong” in addition to more than 100 other publications around the world.

The inspiration behind the theme of the art show was a culmination of the body of work of like-minded Climate Change Artists at Atelier Teymur Rzayev that corresponded to the issues Selva Ozelli raised/addressed in her Climate Change based article series:

(1) Serife Akkan – “Running to the Oasis”

(2) Askin Akman – “Tree 284”

(3) Rana Balkis – “Climate Change” & “Not Like Before”

(4) Oya Gali – “Hurricane Irma”

(5) Semine Hazar – “Artic Melting” 1 & 2

(6) Fatma Kadir – “Tree Abuse” & “Homeless Doves”

(7) Selva Ozelli – “Tsunami” 1 & 2

(8) Hulya Sahin – “One Leaf - a Thousand Rain Drops” & “Grey Skies - Sad Trees”

(9) Ilhan Sayin – “Glamorous Cactus” & “Red Cactus”

(10) Ismail Soysal – “Farmer's Longing”
